Extent[edit]

Are the Yellala Falls considered part of or separate from Livingstone Falls?

It seems to depend on the source. It is common to call the whole stretch from Kinshasa to Matadi the Livingstone falls, but some call that the Lower Congo and say the Livingstone Falls are only the first set, just below the pool. This article cites sources with both views. Aymatth2 (talk) 21:04, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

First European discovery[edit]

I have done so. QatarStarsLeague (talk) 00:34, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Later European visitors and descriptions[edit]

A bit too many quotations in this segment. Some of the descriptions could be converted into original prose.--Typing General (talk) 18:28, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
